Theorem Related To Rings
Theorem Related To Rings : Theorem 1 : If R is a commutative ring with unit element and M is an ideal of R , then M is maximal ideal of R iff R / M is a field . Proof : Since R is a commutative ring with unity , therefore R / M is also a commutative ring with unity . The zero element of the ring R / M is M and the unit element of the coset M +1 where 1 is the unit element of R . Let the ideal M be maximal . Then to prove that R / M is a field . Let M + b be any non zero element of R / M . Then M + b ≠ M i.e b doesn't belongs to M . To prove that M + b is inversible . If (b) is the principal ideal of R generated by b, then M(b) is also an ideal of R . Since b doesn't belong to M , therefore the ideal M is pro...
